HORROR REVIEW: Hunger - Melvin Burgess

Release Date: 17/01/13SYNOPSIS:
When Beth wakes up one morning covered in dirt, she puts it down to an extreme case of sleep-walking. But when reports of a desecrated grave start to circulate, her night-time wanderings take on a sinister air. Soon the city is being plagued by strange sightings and sudden disappearances. Beth knows that something is changing within her. Something that's filling her with an urgent, desperate hunger that demands to be satisfied - at any cost...

REVIEW:
If I were to sum up this book in one line I’d have to modify a line from the original Romero “Night of the Living Dead.” “They’re coming to get you Beth.”

All round this no hold barred Hammer title really gives the reader what they want, there’s gore, there’s otherworldly creatures and when you add to this solid prose, great twists and a nod of the head to one of the greats that have gone before, really makes this a book to sit down and devour. Back that up with a cracking plot, a reasonable cast and all round if you want some classic horror in your bedtime reading, this will more than hit that spot. Great stuff.
